In the starting clutch, an electrical pump or an engine pump is omitted and a substitutive pump mechanism is obtained with a simple construction thereby to circulate lubricating oil within the starting clutch. There is provided a starting clutch in which lubricating oil supplied form a drive shaft side is circulated within the clutch and input side elements and output side elements are tightened by an axial load to transmit a power and wherein a non-electrically operated pump mechanism is provided within the starting clutch.

Starting clutch

A starting clutch includes a planetary mechanism; a first clutch for outputting a torque to an outer diameter portion of the planetary mechanism; a second clutch for outputting the torque to an intermediate portion of the planetary mechanism; and a lock mechanism for locking a reactive force from an inner diameter portion of the planetary mechanism.

Starting clutch and method of controlling the same

The present invention provides a one-way clutch for an automatic transmission, comprising an inner race, an outer race disposed in coaxial with the inner race and rotated relative to the inner race, recessed portions formed in an outer periphery of the inner race or an inner periphery of the outer race along a circumferential direction, pawls engaged by the recessed portions, and biasing members for biasing the pawls toward the recessed portions, and wherein the outer race is integrally provided on a case of the automatic transmission.

One-way clutch for automatic transmission

A one-way clutch assembly comprising a ratchet one-way clutch portion includes inner and outer races which are disposed in coaxial with each other, a pawl capable of being fitted into a recess provided in the inner or outer race to transmit torque, and a biasing member for biasing the pawl to promote the fitting, and a bearing portion disposed between the inner race and the outer race.

One-way clutch assembly

The present invention provides a starting clutch in which an input side element and an output side element are joined together by applying an axial load thereby to transmit a power, which clutch comprises an urging device for always providing the axial load, and a releasing device for releasing the input side element and the output side element from the axial load.

Starting clutch and method for controlling same

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing friction plates obtained by adhering friction members to substantially annular core plates, comprising the steps of simultaneously stamping a plurality of coaxial core plates having different diameters with a joint portion remaining therebetween, preliminarily adhering friction member segments to the stamped plural core plates, and stamping the joint portion during or after a main adhering step following the preliminarily adhering step.
